Following on from the success of previous years, Colchester Carnival returns to the town centre and Castle Park on 19 July 2014, organised by Colchester Round Table and Colchester Ladies Circle.

This year’s procession will have the theme ‘The Magic of the Movies’. Organizers want everyone to have a chance to really get involved. That’s what they are aiming to achieve, a real community-centred event. Businesses can enter for a nominal fee on the condition they get into the “carnival spirit”.
